Adhesive applicator

Abstract

There has been a need to apply paste adhesive to wide areas using a hand held device. The invention involves a novel way to apply a wide area of paste adhesive to the back of paper, cardboard, film and fabric for mounting purposes. The hand held invention is comprised of a 1/4 inch thick 3×5 inch plastic plate which extrudes adhesive paste through a surrounding plastic sleeve, applying a thin, consistent coating of adhesive to the back surface of the 4×5 photograph. A plastic lid covers the end of the glue applicator so that the contents do not dry out when not in use.
